casing. These fat tissues become the white threads also known as whiskers. This is the main difference
between knife-cut casings and hand pulled casings. Knife cut casings are also usedfor all types of sausages
but mainly used for smoked and dried sausages. The transparency is also in the knife-cut casing allows the visibility of the quality of product.
